Summary:
How are public advocacy organizations different from other sectors in other branches of government? Public advocacy organizations different from other sectors in other branches of government because certain organizations and what they do only some branches can approve of them. Like for an example the Education group that can be approved by the Government itself like say the Executive Branch. The president can put any laws of education and all the states would have to follow the law.
Why do you think public advocacy represents the fourth branch of government? Do you think this fourth branch is important in a democratic society? Public advocacy represents the fourth branch in government because we basically make these groups for causes that the other branches don't really have the power or don't depend on them. These groups help us make society cleaner and more safe for citizens of the United States. The fourth branch is important in a democratic society because we the people decide the organizations to form and how we should help others to make life more easier and safe.
